To date, I've primarily shot women (in addition to weddings, product photogaphy, etc. etc.) and lately I've had several requests to shoot men.

I've been told that I'm fun and easy to work with, and make the shoot a good experience.

What differences should I expect with male models? It seems as though men wouldn't be "naturals" as women often are.

I'd like to provide a good experience with good results.

Don't call your model  "sweety", "sweetheart" or anything like that (well, unless you swing that way.)

Though you'll be tempted to say, "lower the thong a little on the hip"

...Don't.

What is the difference between shooting XX versus XXX?

They have bumps in different places.
